Some Teach That Because It Is Impossible to List the Seven Thunders What They Are from 1-7, Therefore They Have Not Been Revealed. Is This Correct?
1) Direct Answer
No. Not being able to list the seven thunders from 1–7 does not mean they are unrevealed. The seven thunders are not a creed to be itemized; they are the living revelation of the Word under the opened Seals, made known to the Bride.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Revelation 10:3–4: The seven thunders uttered their voices, and John was told, “Write them not.” So the Bible itself shows these were not to be written as a list.
- Revelation 10:1–2: The Mighty Angel comes with an open book. What was sealed is now open.
- Revelation 10:7: “In the days of the voice of the seventh angel… the mystery of God should be finished.” Finished means revealed, not left unknown.
- Daniel 12:4: The words were to be sealed till the time of the end—implying an appointed time of unveiling.
- Amos 3:7; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 2:10: God reveals His secrets to His servants, by His Spirit, in due season.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If God commanded John not to write what the thunders said, then expecting a written, numbered list is contrary to Scripture. You see, the very nature of the thunders is a Voice, not a manuscript.
- The same chapter that seals the utterances (Rev 10:4) shows the Book open (Rev 10:2) and declares the mystery finished (Rev 10:7). So to claim, “Because we can’t list them, they are not revealed,” opposes the Bible’s pattern: sealed to writing, but opened by revelation at the time appointed.
- Revelation is recognized by the opened Word bringing all the loose ends of Scripture together, not by a man-made catalog. “My sheep hear My voice” (John 10:27). The Bride knows that Voice when the Word is unveiled to her heart.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice… the seven thunders are the Voice of Christ unveiling the hidden things under the Seals. It’s not about numbering them; it’s about hearing Him. The open Book, the finished mystery, and the Spirit’s testimony to the Word declare they have sounded to the Bride.

Seals 10: The Seventh Seal
63-0324E §130
Did you notice when the Jews asked Him that? You know when we compared the scripture here with Matthew 24 with the six seals, the seventh seal was left out, because, you see, Christ said only God Himself knowed---not even the angels. No wonder, it wasn't even written. You see, they hushed. Nothing taken place then. Angels don't know it. Nobody knows when He's coming. But there'll be a... There'll be seven voices of these thunders that will reveal the great revelation at that time. So, I believe, to us who ... if we...

The City Of Ephesus The city of Ephesus was one of the three greatest cities of Asia. It was often called the third city of Christian faith, with Jerusalem first, and Antioch second. It was a very rich city. The government was Roman but the language was Greek. Historians believe that John, Mary, Peter, Andrew and Philip were all buried in this beautiful city. Paul, who founded the true faith in this city, pastored here only about three years; but when he was absent from the flock he was continually, prayerfully, mi...

CAB 7:E-58
Now from this verse which shows the elect of God to be a "Few Names," you can see clearly what we have been teaching about this age. It was chaotic. It was UNFULFILLED. It was split scores of ways, and God rebuked it almost in its entirety. It was weak and sickly and ready to die. It was not the glorious era that carnal minded Protestant historians have tried to make it. One quick look at that tree saw it was cankered and blighted, denuded of leaf and barren of fruit except for some deformed and wormy fruit that wa...
Corinthians, book of correction

We notice Paul could teach the Ephesians there, how that before the foundation of the world, they were predestinated unto the adoption of the sons of God. Now, the Corinthians didn't know anything about that. They just... They had to have a little feeling or something, little sensation---one this, that and the other---and they depended on that. He couldn't teach them the deep things. So I think it's a great ... when you got a people that you can teach deep things. And the Holy Spirit can wind these great truths and...

CAB 1:E-33
The Bible teaches that GOD WAS IN CHRIST. The BODY was Jesus. In Him dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead, BODILY. Nothing can be plainer than that. Mystery, yes. But actual truth--it can't be plainer. So if He wasn't three people then, He can't be three now. ONE GOD: And this same God was made flesh.
